Chapter 690
Even if only two people would celebrate this birthday, Rosalie chose a dress that matched the color
of Jonathan’s shirt today. She then went downstairs and had breakfast with him.
She initially wanted to prepare lunch for him. However, this suggestion was rejected by Jonathan,
with no room for negotiation because of her pregnancy. He glorified his reason by iming he didn’t
want her to be exhausted. Moreover, he used the well-being of the baby to press her. Rosalie had
no choice but to think about showing off her cooking skills after the baby was born.
However, the lunch menu was decided by her personally. All dishes were food Jonathan usually
enjoyed. She also chose his birthday cake. By drawing a sketch in person and spending a lot of
timemunicating with the baker, they finally confirmed the cake design.
When Rosalie presented the cake to Jonathan, he looked moved and pleasantly surprised. His
expression was like the best praise for her effort.
“How do you..” Jonathan looked at Rosalie in surprise.
“Do you like it?” she asked.
Jonathan smiled. With his narrow lips parting, he said, “Yes.”
This was a three-dimensional sculpted cake. The design of this cake depicted a small garden with a
small house standing at a distance from it.
In the center of the garden were two gray-haired elderly standing hand in hand. Three tiny figures
wearing the same clothes stood around them. In addition, more figures in colorful clothes also
surrounded them, and they were even smaller.
A sentence was written in cream and chocte on top of the cake: [I hold your hands and vow to
grow old together.]
This was not only Jonathan’s wish but Rosalie’s too!
In the future, they would like to grow old together, surrounded by their children and grandchildren!
Rosalie lit the candles for Jonathan. “Happy 28th birthday, Jon!” she murmured.
‘If I think about what happened the past year, too many things have be different!
We’ve only met each other a year ago. But one yearter, on this day, I’m his wife,’ Rosalie
remarked inwardly.
Jonathan stared at her. “Rosie. You’re the one who gives me all my happiness.” Rosalie was
somewhat dazed when he gently called her nickname again. She felt as if she was transported to
the past, back to the very beginning.
However, the way he called her “Rosie” was full of tenderness and love now, if

“Well, you shall make a wish quickly and blow out the candles,” she hurriedly said. Jonathan smiled
as he closed his eyes gently to make a wish. Rosalie’s cheeks burned slightly as she looked at
Jonathan. His statement just now made her blush at that instant, and her heart raced.
If she was the one who gave him all the happiness he had, she would give him all the joy she could
for the rest of his life.
The light illuminating Jonathan’s face was a mixture of candlelight and dimmed lighting. Under such
lights, his face appeared to be more chiseled and mysterious. His long eyshes cast a faint
shadow on his lower eyelids. His nose bridge, which was high and straight, and his narrow lips,
which were sexy and seductive, were irresistible. Even if Rosalie was only staring at him quietly, she
couldn’t help but feel the experience to be visually enjoyable.
After a while, his eyshes fluttered slightly, and he slowly opened his eyes. Jonathan’s eyes were
as alluring as a beautiful spring mountain scenery and as bright as the reflecting lights on ake’s
surface. When he looked at Rosalie with such beautiful eyes, she felt as if her heart was pierced by
something at that moment. She couldn’t help but wonder, “There is nothing more beautiful than his
ethereal beauty.”
After he blew out the candle, words escaped his narrow lips. “My wish is…”
Just as he was about to announce it, Rosalie suddenly raised a hand and pressed it against his lips.
“Don’t say it. If you do, your wish won’t be fulfilled.”
He gently pulled her hand down. “But it’s you who said if I have any wishes, you’ll help me realize
them if they’re within your capabilities. How would you help me achieve them if I don’t say it?”
“That’s more like desire. I can fulfill three of your desires. As for the birthday wishes, they should be
your… Ahem, birthday wishes are something you pray to God to help you achieve them. Something
like business expansion or longevity,” Rosalie exined.
Unexpectedly, Jonathan said, “But it doesn’t matter if these are my desires or wishes, because they
concern/only you.”
He lowered his gaze as he said that. With Rosalie’s hand still in his grasp, he gently raised the
index finger of her hand, making a “one” gesture. “My first wish is for you to celebrate my birthday
with me every year until I die.”
Rosalie was stunned for a second.
Jonathan continued to raise Rosalie’s middle finger and made a “two” gesture. “The second wish is
you’ll never leave me.”
However, he became silent after saying that. He kept staring at Rosalie’s hand but didn’t say his
third wish.
“What’s your third wish?” Rosalie couldn’t help asking.

“I won’t tell you my third wish now. I’ll wait until it’s truly needed in the future, then I’ll say it.” Then
Jonathan murmured, “But… is it true that you’ll fulfill this wish as long as you can when I tell you my
third wish?”
“Yes,” Rosalie answered without hesitation.

Jonathan raised his eyes and stared at her. “So we have a deal. You must fulfill it in the future.”
“What is your wish about? You’re being so mysterious about it.” Rosalie couldn’t help but feel
curious.
Jonathan smiled but said nothing. Hidden deep in his eyes was a hint of worry and gloom.
He could only wish he would never need the third wish because it was a wish for her forgiveness if
she would learn the truth one day!
He wished for her to forgive him for being indifferent in addition to his inaction.
He had hoped many times that he could reverse time. He wanted to return to the time before she
got involved in the ident. Then, he could protect her from any harm.
“Okay. It’s fine if you don’t want to say it. Oh, right, I have a birthday present for you. Look!” Rosalie
said as she presented her prepared gift to Jonathan.
Her gift was two simple T-shirts with a cartoon drawing on them. It depicted a man and a woman;
the woman was pregnant with an obviously protruding belly. The artist had a good grasp of the
demeanor and features of the two characters. Although there were only a few simple strokes, the
little figures in the drawing resembled Jonathan and Rosalie greatly.
“I drew it. Does it resemble us? One for you and one for me. When our children are born, I’ll draw
them and print them on the T-shirt,” she said excitedly.
“I never knew you’re good at drawing cartoons,” Jonathan praised her.
“When I was a student, I enjoyed drawing cartoonish characters and making memes. But it has
been a long time since I drew them, and I’ve be rusty. I’ve secretly practiced for some time.
Thankfully, the result of the T-shirt printing isn’t too bad,” Rosalie said.
Jonathan’s gaze fell on her hand when he heard that. Now, her hand caused her to write slower
than ordinary people. Her handwriting was also obviously different from the beautiful handwriting
she used to have, let alone drawing.
